Chapter 442: Fraudulent Surrender
Previous Chapter: Chapter 441 Rise and Fall Next Chapter: Chapter 443 Chaotic War
Li Dingjin took the department as the middle army, and led the two gods to storm the west city of Zhenzhou, Zhenzhou is the base camp of Chengde, built in the past dynasties, the city is high and the pool is deep, and there are more than a dozen fortresses outside the city, echoing each other with the main city, sugar
A series of battles that took place after the siege of the city were fought around these forts, and no official troops have yet set foot in the main city.
Li Dingjin is worthy of being the first tiger general of the Zuo Shence Army, not only fierce and good at fighting, but also good at using soldiers, under his personal supervision and command, the fortresses outside Zhenzhou City were uprooted one after another.
After clearing the periphery, he broke through the largest fortress in the southwest of the city, Niutoujiao, in one fell swoop, not only to contain the Zhenzhou army from going out, but also to directly threaten the city of Zhenzhou.
This was the biggest victory won by the official army under the city of Zhenzhou since the beginning of the war, and the battle line was pushed directly to the city of Zhenzhou. The reinforcements led by Liu Moming, the general of the Right Shence, took advantage of the victory to attack, broke through the defense line of the Zhenzhou army in one fell swoop, and rushed to the aid of Jizhou.
Everyone was happy, and he was unhappy to be alone, he wanted to make a murder plan with a knife, and let the Zhenzhou army kill Li Dingjin, but he didn't expect him to make such a big contribution, Zhenzhou City is his own dish, but Li Dingjin took away the best piece of meat in front of him.
Then how can I cover the sky with one hand in the Left God Army
Seeing that his father-in-law was sullen, he suddenly vomited into Chenghua and said: "Li Ding's attack on Zhenzhou is to feint, in order to cover Liu Moming's east to help Jizhou, and now that Liu Moming has made the trip, I think it is better for Li Dingjin to withdraw first, so as not to be dumplings by the Zhenzhou army." ”
Tu Tu Chengguang was shocked: "My son has such knowledge, it's really strange, who taught you"
Tutu Chenghua said with a smile: "No one taught me, my son figured it out by himself." ”
Tu Tu Chenghuang was very satisfied, and even praised his son's promising, squinted at the back of Yizi's departure, and thought: "This child, is it wise and foolish, or is it wise and wise?"
Li Dingjin received the warrant from Tutu Chenghuang to withdraw from the army, snorted, and threw the warrant to the generals of the sub-divisions, and everyone was in an uproar, cursing Tutu Chenghuang for not knowing military affairs, commanding indiscriminately, and having a small stomach, and not being able to tolerate people.
Li Dingjin said in front of the envoy of the generals: "Please reply to the capital, Zhenzhou City is about to be broken, and the Niutoujiao is obtained by thousands of my soldiers in bloody battles, so it can directly threaten the heart of Zhenzhou, how can it be lost in a word." There are almost all the books that sugar hua wants to read.,It's much more stable and updated faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.。 Forgive me for not being able to obey my fate. Staff officer Xie Chun was afraid of making things stiff, and hurriedly said: "Hundreds of soldiers have died by seizing Niutoujiao, so it's a pity to abandon it, please think twice." ”
Li Dingjin and Tutu Chengguang are not in harmony, everyone knows, the messenger came to Niutoujiao to see Li Dingjin in his heart has long been uneasy, seeing Li Dingjin in public, he is even more afraid of it, and now Xie Chun has lifted the siege, how dare he say more, Nuo Nuo left.
Wang Chengyuan wanted to give Li Dingjin a dismount, but he didn't expect to let Li Dingjin make a fuss, and actually lost the bull's head horns, and was dispatching troops to prepare to recapture it in one fell swoop.
Now that he heard that Li Dingjin did not withdraw his troops, Wang Chengyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xi Invasion Society, Wang Shibao, and Xi Qingwen: "I didn't expect that there would be such a good general in the official army, if you don't get rid of this person, Zhenzhou will be in danger." ”
Xi invaded the city and said: "The city of Niutoujiao is high and deep, the fortifications are complete, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, only by luring him out of the city, there is a way, but Li Dingjin is cautious by nature, how to coax him out of the city"
Xi Qingwen said: "It's also difficult and easy, you can make Voryang Fort surrender and induce it to divide the troops, and then I will take the city with superior forces." ”
Wuyang Fort is in the southwest of Niutoujiao Fort, it is the outer fortress of Niutoujiao, after Niutoujiao is captured, it is lonely, from a strategic point of view, this fort has no conservative value, Wang Chengyuan is thinking about how to withdraw people and grain and grass equipment with minimal losses.
Wang Chengyuan was overjoyed and said: "Brilliant plan. ”
Immediately ordered the defenders of Voryang Fort to surrender to Li Dingjin, who hesitated. Vortex Castle is lonely and has no defensive value, and if it is attacked, the main city will no longer provide protection. The defenders surrendered in despair, which made sense on the surface. But there is a premise to note here, according to the system of Zhenzhou, the families of the soldiers stationed outside the city must be concentrated in Yacheng to live, and if the battlefield is lost, the crime is not as good as the family.
Li Dingjin deduced from this that this is Wang Chengyuan's trick to surrender, and his intentions are two, if he is not guarded, the soldiers will make trouble in the city, and the inside and outside should be combined to break the city, if he is prepared, then take the opportunity to divide his troops, no matter how strong the city is, after all, it needs people to defend, without people, everything is empty.
Li Dingjin thus decided not to accept the surrender of the Vortex Fortress, but he soon changed his mind, because the Vortex Castle guard, Wang Yida, told him that if he did not surrender, he would sacrifice the fort to Tutu Chenghuang.
Wuyang Fort is of little value to Zhenzhou at the moment, but it is of great significance to Li Dingjin, he refused to Tutu Chengguang's withdrawal order, which is equivalent to openly tearing his face with him, with the temper of the old eunuch, it is strange not to retaliate.
Once the old eunuch took over the Wuyang Fort, Li Dingjin was in the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on all sides, if Zhenzhou attacked Niutoujiao with all his might, and suddenly Tu Chenghuang did not move, he would not even have a way to retreat.
"You have to leave a way out for yourself."
Li Dingjin made a decision, and ordered left and right: "Surrender, I want to see what tricks they have to play." ”
According to Li Dingjin's requirements, Wang Yida, the defender of Voryang Fort, led the crowd to Niutoujiao to disarm first, accept the reorganization of the official army, and then he divided his troops to take over Voryang Fort.
There are not many garrisons in Voryang Fort, and at that time, it can be judged from the number of people surrendered whether Wang Yida has a back hand, and how thick this back hand is.
Wang Yida, the guard of Wuyang Fort, agreed to come down and personally led the crowd out of the city to Niutoujiao Fort to surrender.
Li Dingjin stood at the head of the city and looked at the surrendering team, and said to Huo Hai: "Zhenzhou is exhausted, after taking the Voryang Fort, you go to garrison, go to my worries, after three days of rest, I will raise troops to attack the city, and you will also have a share in the history of the future." ”
Huo Hai was overjoyed, the father and son were talking and laughing, and suddenly saw the smoke and dust billowing in the southwest, and a group of men and horses rushed to the Vortex Yang Fort. My son quickly led the people of the headquarters to rush to the city. ”
Huo Hai was ordered to go.
The southwest army was in a hurry, and Wang Yida, the guard of Wuyang Fort, wanted to return to the city, but was cut off from retreating, and had to run towards Niutoujiao, and when he arrived at the city, he was already unable to form an army, shouting to enter the city, guarding the future and retribution, and all the strategists said that it was impossible.
Li Dingjin said with a smile: "Risking the lives of my family to vote for me, if I don't take them in, won't it cold their hearts?"
The city gate was opened, and everyone rushed in, and was led into the newly established camp in the open space north of the city, without water and food, and without tents.
But suddenly saw that the camp was already surrounded by a forest of rejected horses, guns and halberds were arranged, on the roof, behind the shields, the crossbowmen were already ready, when the soldiers entered the camp, they were confiscated with crossbows and long-pole weapons, only with portable weapons for self-defense, and no shields, at this moment in distress, nowhere to rely on, want to fight can't, want to avoid invincible, watching the dense arrows shoot towards them, crying for a while, crying dad and mother, have fallen in a pool of blood.
Li Dingjin openly killed the prisoners, and everyone was shocked, but no one dared to persuade them. Wang Yida, the guard of Vortex Yang Fort, scolded and was escorted by the guards to Li Dingjin to kneel down, Li Dingjin pulled out a knife and put it on his neck, gesturing back and forth, just not cutting.
Wang Yida scolded: "If you want to kill, you will kill, and my neck is not a whetstone." Li Dingjin laughed and said, "Wang Chengzong's tricks can also hide from me, don't you think you are wronged to die?"
Wang Yida was beaten by the guards in turn, his muscles and bones were broken, his hands and feet were chopped off, his ears and nose were cut, the pain was unbearable, and he only wanted to die at the moment, and said angrily: "You are dying, you don't know yet, if you don't kill me now, I want to see how your head was cut off." ”
Li Dingjin laughed and said, "Okay, I'll fulfill you." But before you see my head, I'll show you the head of your family. "Let people go to Zhenzhou to deliver a letter, saying that Wang Yida has returned to the imperial court, and wants Zhenzhou to return his family, and ordered the military doctor to bind his wounds, tie them to the flagpole in the city gate, and order him to give water and food, and not let him die easily.
Wang Yida cried loudly, crying heartbreakingly.
Li Dingjin laughed.
Wang Yida, the guard of Wuyang Fort, designed to make money from the city, but earned his own family of thirteen heads, Zhenzhou City heard that he returned to the official army, his whole family was beheaded, the body was abandoned in the suburbs, and the head was sent under the south gate of Niu Tau Kok, Wang Yida saw the heads of his parents, brothers, wives and children, fainted several times in a row, and wanted to bite his tongue to kill himself, but he couldn't.
Because of the timely dispatch of troops, Huo Hai took the lead in occupying the Voryang Fort, closing the four gates and preventing Tutu Chengxuan's subordinates from entering the city. There was some friction between the two families during the siege of the city, and the battlefield was opened under the Vortex Yang Fort, and the fight was inseparable. Huo Hai sent an envoy back to Niutoujiao to ask Li Dingjin to increase his troops, claiming that the pressure was very great, and if he did not increase his troops, it would be difficult to support him.
Li Dingjin thought about it again and again, and ordered to divide 1,500 troops to rush to the aid of Wuyang Fort.
When the army went out of the city, Wang Chengyuan got the news, and immediately dressed up neatly, came to the gate of Yacheng, and said to the more than 10,000 Zhenzhou soldiers gathered under the city gate: "The fish has been hooked, and the life and death of our wait, the honor and disgrace of today, all look at today." Soldiers, are you willing to live and die with me, and seek glory and wealth together?"
More than 10,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and the commanders of the three armies drew their swords in their hands and roared angrily: "Go to war." ”
